Help needed

I have been unable to figure out why there seems to be no difference between the Light, the ExtraLight and Light fonts on iOS on the one hand and no differences between ExtraLight, Light, Regular andSemiBold, Bold and Black on Android. If you have any idea on the subject, please do provide an answer on my related stackoverflow post. Thank you very much.

Reason that ExtraLight vs Light was broken was due to comparison of the font name suffix in react-native (light is a suffix of extralight, so it applies light font when extralight should be applied). Was fixed recently in trunk so next release will fix. Was broken in this commit for me: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/cfeaefb4e0e5070d9f500e32de77f5f1ec23fb7c
